NOVPUBChapter 857: Chapter 460: Gathering Together (Requesting Monthly Votes) Chapter 857: Chapter 460: Gathering Together (Requesting Monthly Votes) As Xiang Changqing and his companion finished dividing the spoils of war, Lin Tianming and Zhou Yunxiao were both quite satisfied.
They each accepted their respective war trophies and then casually struck up a conversation.
At that moment, Lin Tianming changed the topic and inquired about any major movements from the Golden Sword Sect and the Blood Red Alliance in recent times.
Especially concerning the progress of the attacks by the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom, that was news of extreme concern for the many powers at present.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao frowned slightly and then slowly began to relay the intelligence held by Myriad Medicine Valley.
As he revealed, ever since the Golden Sword Sect had retreated from that battle, the past several months had been unusually calm, and they had even pulled back to the border area with Myriad Medicine Valley.
There, they had stationed themselves, showing neither intention to retreat nor any plans to mount another attack in the near future.
...
The forces of the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom had similarly quieted down, not only slowing the intensity of their attacks but also moving closer to the location where the Golden Sword Sect and others were.
It was clear that the Golden Sword Sect had encountered a setback in their attack and had suffered significant losses.
Their calm was also due to the fact that Zhao Hongsheng and the others had expended much energy, and with many wounded, their overall strength had notably weakened, at least not possessing the clear advantage they had before.
Such a move by the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom was likely intended to join forces with the Golden Sword Sect and others before launching a further attack.
Thus, this period was one of the rarest sustained calms in recent years.
Lin Tianming and Zhou Yunxiao had anticipated the response from the Golden Sword Sect and the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom.
After all, these were matters in the open, and if they were in their position, they probably would have done the same.
However, the more they did so, the more it revealed the determination of Zhao Hongsheng and Han Hu.
If the Golden Sword Sect attacked again without waiting for support from the three sects of Huangyang Kingdom, it would have given them some opportunities.
But now, individuals like Han Hu were not taking risks, nor were they overly confident. Their cautious posture left no opening for breakthrough.
It was foreseeable that once these major forces gathered together and adjusted themselves, they would inevitably launch another attack.
Even Zhou Yunxiao frowned at this thought, a shadow seemingly casting over his heart.
Lin Tianming felt similarly complex, knowing that although his Lin Family was not on the front lines, the survival of both Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect were closely tied to the Lin Family.
If Myriad Medicine Valley could not withstand the next, more ferocious attack, the Lin Family would inevitably be affected.
Deeply aware of this, Lin Tianming’s expression grew grave as he asked Zhou Yunxiao about his contingency plans.
Hearing Lin Tianming’s question, Zhou Yunxiao gave a wry, helpless smile.
“Lin, at present both Myriad Medicine Valley and Zhenyang Sect don’t really have any good solutions left. If we had any trump cards, they’d probably have been played long ago, wouldn’t they?”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming felt helpless and wondered internally whether Zhou Yunxiao’s words were true.
Yet, on second thought, being able to inherit a legacy for ten thousand years and still standing strong, Myriad Medicine Valley must have some trump cards.
It was simply that they wouldn’t use them until they faced a life or death situation.
Though the current predicament of Myriad Medicine Valley was difficult, it was not yet dire.
In his eyes, Myriad Medicine Valley must have some cards left to play, but whether they would be seen was uncertain.
Regardless, now was not the time to consider these things.
They would have to play by ear, meeting force with force and countering water with earth.
Lin Tianming sighed, then changed the topic, asking about the arrival of the other Lin Family members who were coming to support Myriad Medicine Valley. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
After all, it should be about time by their agreement.
Prompted by this reminder, Zhou Yunxiao seemed a bit more relieved.
After all, apart from Lin Tianming, two more members of the Lin Family were to come to support Myriad Medicine Valley.
Though the help brought by two cultivators at the Early Stage Golden Core was extremely limited, under the current circumstances, they could still bring a slight increase to their overall strength.
Zhou Yunxiao informed him that the Lin Family members had not yet arrived and should probably reach Myriad Medicine Valley within the next month or so.
Lin Tianming was quite anticipatory about this, also secretly guessing which two it might be.
Going by his speculations and the current state of the Lin Family, Lin Shilu had just broken through to the Golden Core Stage, and perhaps he had just finished his seclusion.
And since the Cultivation World had not yet heard of his advancement to the Golden Core Stage, in order to further hide the Lin Family’s strength, Lin Shilu was most likely to stay with the family in case of any crises that might arise.
Eliminating Lin Shilu from consideration, it would then be a choice between Lin Shikang, Ye Pinghai, and Hu Yuan.
Considering Hu Yuan’s status as a Guest Elder of the Lin Family and his original agreement, which was only to take action in times of crisis, not to be summoned at will by the Lin Family, it wouldn’t be right to ask him for help unless they provided appropriate rewards and he was willing to come voluntarily.
Lin Shikang, being born and raised as part of the Lin Family, was naturally the first choice.
As for the other, it would undoubtedly be Ye Pinghai.
Although Ye Pinghai did not carry the Lin surname, he had been sworn in as a family by the Lin Family and they had repeatedly been gracious to him. Their relationship was naturally incomparable to that with Hu Yuan.
Thus, the ones likely to arrive at Myriad Medicine Valley were Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai.
